Grand Ducal Palace

Highlight • Historical Site

The Grand Ducal Palace, the city residence of the Grand Ducal family, is located
in the middle of the old town district.
The site of the current palace was once the site of the first town hall of the city of Luxembourg, whose origins date back to 1418. After the town hall was destroyed by a gunpowder explosion in 1554, it was rebuilt 20 years later.
In 1741, the stone railing of the balcony was replaced by a wrought iron railing,
which still exists today. In the mid-18th century, the building was extended on the right side with a baroque-style building known as the "City Weigh House".
In 1890, the Chamber of Deputies was built on the right side of the palace.
Since 1890, the main building has served as the Grand Ducal Palace.
The palace was extensively restored from 1992 to 1995.

Notre-Dame Cathedral, Luxembourg

Highlight • Religious Site

It was built on the present site as a Jesuit church and the foundation stone was laid in 1613. The building is a notable example of late Gothic, but has various elements and decorations influenced by the Renaissance and early Baroque styles. The historic main facade is on the Rue Notre Dame (north side) and has a magnificent entrance portal (designated 1621), created by the sculptor Daniel Müller († 1623) from Freiberg in Saxony. In the gable is the monumental coat of arms of Archduke Albrecht VII of Habsburg, who was regent of the Spanish Netherlands at the time of construction, to which Luxembourg belonged at the time.

Alzette Bridge in the Grund district

Highlight • Bridge

The Grund Bridge is a stone bridge that carries the Münsterstrasse over the Alzette in the Grund district. It is an important link between the two sides of the charming Grund district and offers stunning views of the Alzette and the old town. From May to October, on the first Sunday of every month, the "Konscht am Gronn" art market takes place here, bringing together local and international artists presenting various art forms, from painting and sculpture to photography and glassmaking.
